Totally inappropriate for the talk page but...I love this comic. JD79 04:34, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Equally unsuitable for this setting... me too. Omphaloscope » talk 04:34, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No reviews

[edit]

No reviewing on the part of Wikipedia users, please, as much I'd love to do so, and gushingly (! -- see above). When external reviews appear, we'll quote them here. Omphaloscope » talk 05:18, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There are external reviews. Haven't you seen any of them? --Maru (talk) Contribs 07:08, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Do you remember any of the URLs? Omphaloscope » talk 07:42, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Er... no. I think they are linked from the main ALILBTDII site, if it helps. --Maru (talk) Contribs 16:27, 16 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

ALIL is on hiatus

Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved to lower-case "but" and "the", per discussion below. - GTBacchus(talk) 10:48, 12 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]


A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible → A Lesson Is Learned But the Damage Is Irreversible – Move to lower case the as per WP:CAPS: In general, each word in English titles of books, films, and other works takes an initial capital, except for articles ("a", "an", "the") (my emphasis). Tassedethe (talk) 05:22, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, WP:CAPS does indeed say that. I am unsure whether this is a case for ignoring that guideline, but if we were to follow it, "but" should also be lowercased. It appears to be a coordinating conjunction in the title and this guide lists "for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so" as not to be capitalized. Confusingly, a Google Scholar search returns Ted Rall's book that quotes the title in full as "A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible": Attitude 3: the new subversive online cartoonists By Ted Rall in the contents and back cover but also quotes it as "A Lesson is Learned But the Damage is Irreversible" in the foreword and as a third variation on page 36 ("is" and "the" inconsistently lowercased). -84user (talk) 07:58, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that but should be lower case. It was down the page at WP:CAPS#Composition titles. I personally don't think this is a special case for ignoring the guidelines. There are not a wealth of authoritative sources on the topic and as you point out different sources are applying different styles. Tassedethe (talk) 20:07, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose pending convincing rationale; the name of the site as given is capitalised, and artistic licence triumphs. Skomorokh 08:42, 4 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Artistic license is something that is not usually followed, otherwise we would have a variety of strange capitalization and spelling based on the whims of the artist and/or typographer. See MOS:TM. Tassedethe (talk)
